Summary
The Chicago Cubs’ pitching staff is in shambles this season, with key starters like Horton, Taillon, and Steele sidelined—leaving only Imanaga healthy and leading the league in starts. Boyd’s injury is a major blow, while Cabrera’s minor issue and Steele’s Tommy John recovery keep the rotation thin. But don’t count out Brown and Assad—they’ve stepped up as unsung heroes. A fan survey is now asking which injured pitcher—Boyd, Steele, or Taillon—might still help the team this year, with results expected soon. For now, the Cubs are clinging to their healthy arms and hoping for a miracle. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
